Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. While I am waiting for construction to finish on my new retail store in Santa Barbara, I have extra time and spending it caring for and connecting with animals is something that truly brings me joy and balance every day.

Dear reader, What a blessing it has been to have Lara in our lives for three years now. Although we did not meet her on Rover, for she signed on after our connection, we are happy to let you know, She is an amazing human being and just wonderful with our two dogs and rabbit. She is nurturing, professional and reliable. We are grateful for her 🤩👸🏻 Best of luck , G💕
